Warriors Plus Minus: A show about the Golden State Warriors

Two years into their history, the Golden State Valkyries have pulled off what formerly felt unimaginable. They're headed to the WNBA Finals to take on the Atlanta Dream, another surprising squad. But first, Marcus Thompson examines their dismantling of the Aces and how they arrived here in such a short window. It's one of the great stories in sports.

Tim and Nick Friedell discuss Kristaps Porzingis' continued absence, Yaxel Lendeborg's growing responsibility and Brandin Podziemski's contract situation with opening night coming up Oct. 21.

Marcus Thompson and Zena Keita, pre and postgame host of Valkyries TV, hop on for an emergency podcast to discuss the Game 3 win over Dallas. In a win-or-go-home scenario, Golden State rallied from a 16-point deficit in the third quarter to eliminate the Wings. They discuss the vibes in Ballhalla, the clutchness of Gabby Williams and how the Valkyries should approach their next opponent — the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.

Tim and Nick Friedell discuss Brandin Podziemski's strong play, Georges Niang's fit and other interesting moments from Thursday's open scrimmage in Hawaii. Also, Frank Vogel is taking charge of the defense.

Marcus Thompson and Zena Keita, TV host of the Valkyries pre and postgame show, break down Game 2, the explosion from Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale and what we learned about the Valkyries that figures to be critical moving forward.
